Wife's new Brompton

[fossala]

Managed to score my wife a M6R-X (titanium) for £500. Very good condition, hardly used with all paperwork.

Think this is the best bargain I've had!

Got him to drop it off as well. When I gave him the cash he tried to give me £50 back as I didn't haggle, I obviously declined.

An absolute bargain price for that model of Brommie in that condition.

Lad had a heart attack not long after purchase so didn't really get used. Now has a BMW ebike.

I wonder what year is is.

The Brompton logo in that style on the cross bar hasn't been used for a long time.

My guess is 2004 or 2005.

I assumed it was quite recent considering it looks new, but i'm not up on the differences in years of Bromptons.
What would that spec cost new, must be getting on for £2K now ?

Yes, about £1,900 give or take.

It being a Brompton it will be more or less the same as new.

The last worthwhile upgrade was improved brakes and levers, which the OP's bike might have.

She must really like it to let you put it on the kitchen worktop.

I have a long narrow kitchen and bikes aren't allowed in any other room in the house.

This was an incredible bargain! If I had spotted an ad for that my reaction would have been "too good to be true!"

That decal was being used at least as late as 2010. Might even have been new for that year. The steel ones (well, they're all steel in the main frame) had a different and IMO nicer logo.

I'd say it's post-2010 if it has a steel seatpost. Ti Bromptons used to have a Ti seatpost but no longer. It was the best bang for buck weight-saver, too.
